Webhosting

Blogging really takes up a lot of your time, especially if its not your only responsibility. I have found it harder and harder to commit my time to blogging especially after starting my semester. One would think that blogging may just take 1 hour maximum in a day, but looking for a good topic discussion that will attract readers is definitely no easy task.

If you notice, the number of post in my blog has significantly reduced compared to when I first started blogging. Not only that, but the contents of my blog has dropped too. I appologize in advance for the drop in quality of my post. But.. =(

Studies is taking 24 hours of my time a day!!! Its crazy! Who would have guess that university life is so hectic huh? Haha..

Not only is blogging just subjected to putting a post on the website, you have to decorate your blog in a way that makes the readers wanna come back, find a good server to host your blog and lots more other stuff that bloggers don't really tell you that are behind the scenes. Web hosting reviews is a good way to save time looking through to find the best ones among all the ones out there. It tells you which site is the best and most suitable for your needs.

Still want to hop into the blogging band wagon? GOod luck!

Weirdness in Nature

I saw this weird lizard the other day. Not sure if you call it a lizard but..

Sooo..... weird....



Wonder what happen to him???

Did he go for a blue tan or something? Like its a new fashion for the lizarding world? To have a cool blue tail?




Or is he some freak of nature? That all his lizard friends are making fun of him and he's all alone now. Which probably explains it coz I saw him all alone on the side of the road in my university.

If u notice, even his little feet are blue!!!




Wonder if it runs in the family?




Or maybe he's on drugs! And it made him blue...

Hmmmm... So many possibilities..

Just as long as he is happy. I'm good with that. =)

Though I wonder why do I think he's a he? I'm a sexist now.. Hmm..

Women in Love..

One thing good about being in US, I get to watch the latest dramas series immediately after they're out! I just watched Grey's last Thursday!!! 2 full hours of Meredith and Derek! Stupid ABC! All the stuff that they wanted to shocked their viewers were either dreams or just jokes.

What the heck?

One interesting thing though. There is going to be 2 new relationship in Seattle Hospital. Callie and Erica Hann, the cardio surgeon are going to start dating!!! Yup! Lesbian relationship! They kissed during the show and I can't say I wasn't uncomfortable watching it. It's just weird. But I guess I just have to get use to it over here. Especially in California. Where the ban for gay marriage has been lifted. But I think there's a new issue about it again. Not sure though.

I wonder if the notion that gays are always cuter than straight man applies for lesbians too. Especially Florida Lesbians. Sun and beach all day long sure makes a woman strive for a good body! =)

100 Years

I'm not sure when this song was made popular but I always feel nostalgic when I listen to this song. I really have no idea why this song has that effect on me.

I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio, specifically MixFm coz other radio stations prefer playing more noisy or hipper songs.

That was the time when I had this craze for CD's and after listening this song, I immediately went out and bought this CD.

The first time I played this CD was when Cody and I was playing jigsaw puzzle on my bed. I don't play jigsaw puzzle much, in actual fact, this was the only time that I actually played it. It was a 1000 puzzle where all the Disney Characters were little babies sitting on a park bench outside. Really cute actually though I never got down to complete it.

That image of me sitting down on the bed with Cody, playing jigsaw puzzle and listening to Five for Fighting album and stuck with me ever since. I think about that day every time I hear this song.

Nothing significant I know but this is how I feel when this song is played. Just thought of sharing. =)


Are you drinking milk from China?

Hmm.. Bangladesh claims that China's milk contains the chemical melanin, which causes kidney stone. Countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, and Philippines are taking the China local made milk powder from the shelves.

How can these people be so irresponsible? These milk are drank by millions of babies all over the world and its their only source of protein at such a tender young age.

Ahh.. scary just thinking about it. We have to be so careful when taking diet supplements ourselves. Who knows what unhealthy chemicals may be contained inside?

Sigh.. all people can think is profit.. without caring who they hurt.

Supply and Demand

For some reason, I'm starting to really like economics. I don't whether its because I just started the chapter and things are still fairly easy to understand or I really like the whole concept of how the market works but its starting to grow inside me heart..

There's a few graduates from SUA that studied economics in NYU and are now working in World Bank. I think that's a bit too far to think but.. Hmm.. I don't know...

I remember one thing that I studied was the law of demand. That when the demand rises, the price will rise too. The book gave the example that in 2006, when the Microsoft latest xbox 360 was released, it was sold out before people could get their hands on it. From the sale of $399, people couldn't buy it at all particularly during the holiday season. And because of that, do you know how much it was sold on ebay? A freaking $800 dollars!!! That is double the selling price!

Although I kinda feel economics is more towards logic and rational thinking, because people's minds are predictable, but its still interesting seeing how different issues in the world can be somehow explained by economics. And sometimes, you'll find out people's minds are not so predictable after all.

After Graduation

Ever since starting sophomore year, I have grown to realize that time is passing really fast in SUA right now and before I know it, I'll be thrown out into the real world. Gone are the days when I feel its too early for me to think of graduation or the notion that "I'll be here forever.." What am I going to do after graduation?

Part of me really wants to go to graduate school. Then the question is where? I kinda feel that I have enough of the "American Experience" and would like to venture in my country's English roots, which stems from Britain. Don't you think it would be cool to study in UK? One of the European countries, and be surrounded by guys with the sexy British accent?

Ah... Hugh Grant..

But, part of me would like to study in say New York university too. I don't know about you but it has always been a dream to go to New York. What more actually live there! Can you imagine that? And find myself Manhattan jobs.. wouldn't that be awesome? Like the girls from Sex and the City.

Boy am I dreaming big. Lets concentrate on getting this year done first. =.=

Song of the Day

Starting from today I'm gonna post a song that I like. It may be a new hit song, or a song from the past. One that strike me and is important enough to post on my blog and share it with you guys.

It may be a song that has significant meaning to me, or it may just be a song that I love for no reason.

Whatever the reason may be, I hope the song, whether you have heard it or not, will brighten up your day just like it did to mine! =)

Hope you like it.

P:S/ My little pinkie finger is hurt. =( I can't type properly now. Must be this morning's dry land practice!

Double eyelids!

I know of a friend that goes everywhere with eye make-up. She's always wearing her thick black eyeliner. One day, when I saw her without it, I could barely recognize her.

Later on I found out that she wears all these eye make-up to make her look as though she has double eye-lids coz you know most Chinese girls lack this genetic part of the human physical feature.

I wanna learn how to do it too. And then I can look like those Goth Girls that I see in the streets of LA! Hehe..

Would you like that Cody?

Greys Anatomy!!!

I'm still much in love with Greys!!! After soo many years.. that show is still really good!!! Ahh.. I love Meredith and McDreamy...

Its coming back on Sept 26th!!! This Thursday!!!! Woooo.. I can't wait!!!

If you watched last season's final episode, you'll know that Derek and Meredith ended on a very romantic note..

I'm so tired with them getting together and breaking up already. Stop that and get together for good.


But then I saw this.





And I don't wanna watch anymore...

Do you trust that website?

Internet shopping can be sooo fun! I buy most of my books online now. Not only is it cheaper but the feeling of having a package in your mailbox is really exciting!!! I have yet to buy anything else besides books but its really fun doing internet shopping. I had a friend that called me from Australia asking me to help her get this Armani Exchange jeans that she fallen in love with. The website does not allow any
international shipping so she had no choice but to ask for me help. I ordered it last Sunday and it arrived on Thursday!!!

That was fast right? They even had an envelope which gave you a free shipment thingy if you wanted to return your good if you were not satisfied with it.

But it really depends on what website you shop at though. I bought books from ebay the other day and the bill was 11.90 dollars and suddenly my credit card was charged an extra 2 dollars randomly.

What the heck? Why? I don't really know what to do because technically its just 2 dollars and should I go through so much trouble calling my credit card company just for that 2 dollars? But still.. how can they do that?

Therefore I think its really important that we Write a Website Review of our experiences with other websites when we do our internet shopping to create more awareness within people. And when we know what the Top Websites are in the internet, it can make us shop safer and more economical. Consumers are getting really smart nowadays. Don't you think so? I'm not saying that ebay is not popular but they really shouldn't cheat like that!

Argh.. I'm so mad...!!! =.=

Milo Ventimiglia 19 year old girlfriend!

Can you imagine how many girls are killing to be in Hayden Panettiere's shoes right now? She's freaking only 19 and is dating this super hot guy?



If you don't know who he is.. well you have been living under the rock! He's acting as the guy that has the best superpower in Heroes. The guy that can copy other heroes powers!

I totally didn't know that he was the one that acted in Gilmore Girls as the bad boy Jesse! I always wanted him and Rory to end up together. =(




And they actually dated for 3 and a half years!!!

What happen after that? >.<

She's was perfect for him! Boohoo.. He's 31 years old now! The perfect age for guys! And how is the girl? 19!!! She is.. (counts with fingers)




12 years younger than him!!!



Can you believe she's only 19?


Lucky b*tch!

I wanna date someone older too! =P




Unfair!!!




Ok... I'm just sounding all sour!!! Boohoo... Heroes is all weird to watch now. Bluek!

Places for Honeymoon

My friend's sister just got married last July. In the perfect summer weather of the Californian sun. In the university that she met her husband in. A wedding where all her family and close friend attended.

Don't you think its super romantic to get married in the place where you met your husband? Of course I'm not talking about places like the gym or some grocery store. But imagine getting married in a place that holds so many of your memories. Both yours and your husband.

Finding the perfect man to get married is already hard. What more finding the perfectdestination weddings! And what more.. the honeymoon!!! There are a lot of places around the world suitable for honeymoons but which is perfect for you?

Do you want to tour the city or spend the whole holiday just lazing around enjoying each other's company? Superclubs.com is a honeymoon all inclusive resort which to my opinion looks perfectly romantic for newlyweds. They also offers various discount vacation packages. Imagine lying around the beach, enjoying the warm sun, listening to the waves, and drinking pina colada all day long..

Cody.. Are you reading this? =P

I hate the new Facebook!

Some people are so free!!! Why must they spoil a perfectly functioning thing?

It didn't really occur to me that facebook is actually a company or an organization like Yahoo! or Google until my friend told me that she has a uncle that works for Facebook!

I totally understand that they think facebook should have a facelift and add something new to it but..

I really really really don't like the new facebook.

Its confusing, its all over the place. Its terrible!

The profile is now boring. No more applications anymore. What's the point then?

I want the old facebook back!!! And I'm sure I'm not the only one!!! If you're working for facebook and reading this!!!

GET THE FREAKING OLD FACEBOOK BACK!!!

Yo quiero español!

¡Hola! ¿Como estas?

Since coming to SUA, I have fallen in love with the Latin culture. Everything about the Latino culture is super interesting to me.. I love their language, I love their music, I love their history! Everything!!!

One thing I have to get use to is the beans though. Don´t really like that yet. But I´m sure that´s not the only food that they eat! My Latino friends will kill me if they catch me saying this.

Even my current roommate is a Latina! How cool is that! I took Spanish for 2 semester last year but stop this year coz I couldn´t commit anymore. Kinda miss it though. Spanish is such a beautiful language. Its difficult, definitely.. but really beautiful. I wish I could learn more about it.

Maybe I could join some Latina Chatrooms and practice my Spanish in there. Or I could always talk to my roommate in Spanish.

¡Hasta la vista baby!

Things I love about Ho Chi Minh

Although I can't say that Ho Chi Minh City is my home right now, but I have to admit that I have develop some feelings towards it after staying here for almost a month now. Undeniably its not Malaysia and it will never be as great as Malaysia because yeah.. I'm biased and everything but.. It does have its plus points too and I'm gonna definitely miss it when I leave.

Its weird right? To develop feelings for a country. I keep saying I want to travel around the world and all and if possible, stay in a country long enough for me to get to know its culture and lifestyle but with me having my so-called attachments to these random countries, how am I going to travel as extensively as I wished?

I don't think my heart can take the heart-broken-ness of leaving it. =(

Remember how heavy hearted I was when I left Colombia? I don't think I mentioned it here but I fell in love with that country so much! Esp small town Leticia!


Who wouldn't fall in love with a town with this? =P


But anyway.. I guess life has to go own and I have to either learn to deal with it or harden myself into a cold hearted bitch that has no attachments towards anything.

I think the former is better. Don't you think so?

I'm going to try and list down what I love about Ho Chi Minh City, mainly because that's the only place I have been in Vietnam. So here goes..



10. The hustling and bustling of the city and motorbikes.


Have you ever seen the traffic in HCMC? Oh my goodness. In my opinion, if you can cross the road in HCMC, you can cross it anywhere in the world.

I certainly gonna miss crossing the road even when there is thousands of motorbikes zooming past you. The secret is just to walk slowly and pray that you'll reach the other end safely. The motorist will naturally avoid you.


9. The continuous flow of beef noodles, also known as Pho.


Although according to my dad its not healthy because its full of sugar, both in the soup and noodles, I think I have developed a love for "Pho" (pronounced "fur"). The soup, the beef, the noodles..

Ah.. I'm gonna miss it. Can't find any good ones outside Vietnam.





8. Spring Rolls!!!



Pictures can speak for themselves!



Don't really know the difference between north and south.
I love them all!



7. Vietnamese Coffee
I'm not really an ardent lover of coffee but Vietnamese coffee is really nice. Its really aromatic. I like to drink it black without milk. Highlands coffee is the best but all works well too..


Dangerously unbalance glass!


6. The smiley faces of the Vietnamese

I don't know whether they have ulterior motive on to you, eg to get you to buy their stuff or someting, but Vietnamese people are really friendly. Whenever you go into a shop, the sales girl, who's a sweet young thing (like me!) will come over and strike up a conversation with you. Even though they speak terribly broken English, they try really hard to get your interest and ask you where you're from and stuff. I always love trying to get to know them better. They're generally college students earning extra money in boutiques, embroidery shops and stuff.






Okay. I think I should stop now. TOo long and you'll start falling asleep! Yup! You. So I shall continue this another day. Stay tuned! =)

Economics Class

I'm overloading with classes again this semester. I chose Principles of Economics to take and I'm kinda excited with it. I have always wanted to take an Economics class but since I was a science student in high school, I didn't really get a chance to do it. To tell the truth, I haven't the faintest idea what economics is. I know it has something to do with business, trading and stuff but that's about all.

Terrible right?

But, reading the first chapter of my Economics textbook seems really interesting. Stuff like opportunity cost, demand and supply, futures trading.. Surprisingly doesn't seem boring to me.

Maybe I can actually find something that I like here. Who knows what the future may bring! =)

Health Insurance

I'm going to join swimming again this year. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, getting myself into so many activities, getting involved with soo many things, but I promised myself last semester that I will continue with swimming no matter what. Because even though its really tough, but the rewards that you get from it totally outweighs it.

The university basically pays for our membership into the swimming club. I don't know how it works but college swimming requires you to join some sort of membership. One that actually includes health insurance. I don't know if its NC health insurance but they certainly do cover a lot of our medical stuff. We also get free stuff from the organization occasionally. Like swim wear, bags.. Kinda cool.

I just hope I'm not way above my head! =.=

Fall is slowly approaching..

The weather over here is slowly changing again... The nice hot warm sunny weather is slowly changing to chilly winds..

No more tank tops, skirts, shorts, spaghetti straps, tubes.. beaches..

Instead, all we have are jeans, long sleeves shirts and sweaters that we wear over and over again.

And of course no more beaches and sitting outside having lunch or reading a book..

I hate that we go to school during winter and not summer.

WHY?




My view from my second floor room! =)

The Emo Trend

I remember when I first asked Cody what the word "emo" meant, the answer that he told me was emo doesn't have an explanation. Its a word that can be used to describe anything. A state of mind, mood, music, dressing style. Anything.

Now, if you ask me, I don't really know how to explain the word either. But I know I use it a lot. Especially when I'm down and moody, I like to use the word.

That's why I think its pretty cool when we can find other Emo people around the world and have an Emo Chat with each other. Then we can all be moody together. =)

My Chemical Romance Rabbit!


Mr.Rockstar Rabbit with heavy black eyeliner! =P




Kinda looks like Cody..

I miss him..

Divorce Records

I don't really know why people would do this but it seems that you can know search for divorce records online now. So if you're interested in loving for Missouri Divorce Records, it is actually possible for you to do it.

Maybe you don't want your employee to be a divorcee or you're checking to see if the handsome perfect guy you're dating right now maybe be tarnished goods. Who knows?

Peace for China Or Tibet

The Tibetan Issue.

I always think that there is two side to every story. But that does not mean that both sides are equally right or wrong. We have to choose a side to take on. However, which ever side that we choose, we have to make sure that we are well-equipt with knowledge to make sure that we're making the right judgments. Don't just make a decision based on what we hear or read. Make sure that we know inside out on the issue that we're fighting about.

All sides will have their own story to tell. Whether it is to deceive others into believing their story or to get empathy from the public, it is essential that we do enough research to make sure that we are not easily deceived by facts that are thrown around to get people's attention.

I'm not saying that the Chinese are totally wrong in not liberating the Tibetans. And that the international public shouldn't put China in the "bad guys" box. But sometimes.. there are more things that meets the eye. If we're not there to experience it ourselves, how can we say anything? How do we truly know how the Tibetans are really feeling if we're not there ourselves?

That's not to say that the Chinese doesn't have any human rights violation or that they're not ill treating the Tibetans but..



Life is complicated. I just hope that both countries, does not matter which side wins, will get along peaceful and harmoniously. With its people able to achieve happiness in life.

Do You Know Your New Guy?

Getting into the dating scene can be a challenging thing. Going out there, getting to know random guys that you just met either in the grocery store or at the gym. Though they may be cute and seemed almost perfect, you will never know what they are hiding.

If it is a small thing like he has 5 pet snakes its still okay especially if you are into that sort of exotic pets yourself. But what if he is married?

What the? Better check the Public Marriage Records just in case.

You might save yourself from having your heart broken.

The New iPod


Apple is such a strong company in the sense that until now, where almost the whole world owns some sort of an iPod, still manages to catch people's attention with their products. Steve Job just announced the release of their new iPods Tuesday morning in San Francisco.

Their iPod Nanos are the biggest change of all their products. Though I can't really say if I like their latest design. I still prefer the short and fat design. The one that was snatched away by a motorist. =.=



Yes. I don't wanna talk about it yet.



My old iPod. Sigh...


I prefer the old red though. The new red look so much brighter!!!! Ahh!!! I hate that person!

Anyway, one thing I do love though, is the wide variety of colors. Previously it was only offered maybe 4 to 5 colors but now they have a wooping 9 colors!!!! Imagine that!

Its really pretty actually. But thin and long. >.<

I really really prefer the old fat iPod nano.

Besides that the new iPod nano, they also made their iPod touch cheaper.

Though this brings into the question of should I get an Ipod classic. Its just USD 249 for 120GB!!! That's not much difference that USD199 for an extra of 114GB!!!

What do you think?

Why do we always stick to Apple? Is it because we're brand conscious or is Apple really that good? Quality wise I mean.

I recently heard about this brand Zune. I don't really know much about it but it seems pretty decent. The red is certainly nicer and they even have FM radio inside!

Do I trust an unknown brand?




Zune has 4GB for USD 129 and 8GB for USD 149. They also have 80GB for around USD 249. Something lidat.

I'm a little bit bored with all this Apple craze. iPod touch doesn't really appeal to me for some reason. I think its too flimpsy and too bulky. I want an MP3 player. Not a freaking phone that's not a phone!

Decisions decisions decisions.

The Music Craze

I have always love music but for me, music is not my life. I know of people that walk around with their earphones as part of their accessories everywhere they go. Its like the long wirey thing is part of their body already. I guess I have passed the age where knowing the latest top pop songs are the most important thing in the world. Or watching the latest MTV music awards or something.

Recently though, I myself have kinda fallen in love with listening to music too. I always didn't understand how people can study with their music on or read a book while listening to music and though I have not reach that stage of "music craze" yet, I found out I have started to listen to music more than usual.

Spanish songs are really nice. For some reason, I have fallen in love with it. I only listen to a few Chinese songs. Korean, and Japanese songs are not really my cup of tea but Spanish songs... Yum yum...

Though local radio stations are a good place to get the latest music, it only plays mainstream music. Though stuff like alternative rock or adult contemporary music are rarely played there.

HD radio is a good place to get some alternative music. You can use iPod Tagging to add music to your iPod. Polk iSonic ES2 is a pretty cool gadget to own too if you're a big music fan.

I recently fallen in love with this band. I don't think they have release their album yet but their song is just the sweetest.

I hope you enjoy it too.

Cheap Branded Stuff

Although Malaysia is definitely a shopper's paradise, especially with the Mega Sale going on right now, Ho Chi Minh is not losing in it either.




Although I'm an impulsive shopper, I'm kinda choosy when it comes to shopping. I don't really like fake branded stuff. I don't really know the reason but I feel why should I parade in some expensive brand, showing everyone that I'm using some expensive branded clothes but in actual fact its totally fake.

Don't really like doing that.

But shopping in Saigon Square has totally change my perspective of that!!! You know why?




Because the stuff there, although 80% cheaper than what is sold overseas, are absolutely real!!!




I didn't really take that much pictures of this place. Mainly because I was busy shopping.

I'm so sorry!


All you need is patience to look for the gold.


Saigon Square mainly sells clothes. Lots and lots of clothes. And the interesting part is that they have all kinds of brands there! From Abercombie & Fitch, Forever 21, Guess, Gap, Armani.. Everything. And you know what's the best part? I have a feeling that all these are real stuff, not fakes like those in PetalingStreet in Malaysia or in China.


Air-cond! Yay!



You know why?



Because if you look closely, they have everything there from the price tags with USD on it to their brand tags to their washing directions! Bearing in mind that there are a lot of factories in Vietnam. There are also a few with their labels cut. Those with labels cut are normally cheaper than those that aren't. I don't really know how this works but its kinda like shopping in Factory Outlet shops. They're all branded stuff but some how its cheaper than those sold in boutiques.

Its the same here too. The difference is just they have much much much more different brands and their clothes are pretty much the latest season! Can you imagine getting a Guess black dress for USD26? Or an Abercombie and Fitch top for USD 8? Its not that much difference for brands like Forever 21 because clothes there are already cheap but brands like Armani Exchange and Guess are a rip-off!!! Clothes from Forever 21 are almost the same though. Sometimes they will still have their price tags attached and if you look closely, its only about 2-3 dollars difference. And a frequent Forever 21 customer like me knows that they ALWAYS have sale and stuff can get really cheap sometimes!

They even have clothes from Korea and Japan. Those aren't that cheap though. Maybe about USD 10 each plus minus.


This place may look cheap, but examine it closely and you'll think otherwise


One down side though, because everyone only has a small stall, you don't really have any space to try on their clothes. Most of the time they'll either ask you to put it over your clothes or they'll hold a curtain around you while you change.

I guess you can't ask for everything can't you.





They don't really like bargaining much either. The most discount they'll give is about 10000 dongs which is less than USD1! I think they know that their product is good so they don't really care if you don't buy it, other people will buy it if you don't. However, you don't really need to bargain much because its already so cheap!




Beware though. They can be really cold too. They couldn't really be bothered whether you bought their products or not. I don't really know why.

Ahh.. Its gonna feel so weird walking into shops like Guess in US and knowing that its so much cheaper in HCMC and its exactly the same! =.=

What's your Number?

I remember watching American shows as a kid and always wondered how people can get total random stranger's telephone numbers just by going into the telephone booth, searching the phone book and voila! You get their telephone number.

I always thought that telephone numbers are private stuff and you need the owner's permission to get it. Don't you think its dangerous if any Tom, Dick and Harry can get your information just by flipping some book?

Well.. I guess its pretty normal nowadays especially with technology. With Reverse Phone Registry, you can now even find people's numbers online without hassle.

Sigh.. where did all our privacy went?

I'm back in US now

I hate jet lag. I don't know if my room has full of dust or I don't have enough sleep but I'm sick! =.= I have flu and I'm super tired.

Stupid 18 hour long flight. When will someone invent something that can enable us to travel for less than this ungodly amount of time?

I hate travelling this far.

I'm tired of flying around. Boohoo..

I wish there's this special door that we can cross and we'll be halfway across the globe in 2 seconds. Like the fireplace in Harry Potter. Whaahahaha...

I need sleep. =(

Precast

I have always harbor an interest in both architecture and civil engineering. I remember I actually applied for a scholarship in civil engineering, imagining myself having a career going to sites and building structures. Architecture was a little too complicating for me. I know I'm not a creative person. I have a friend though who's taking architecture in Australia right now. Imagine having a building that you actually designed! Awesome I can tell you.

Building structures are definitely not baby's work. Nowadays, Precast Concrete are the "in" thing now. Using an fixed "reusable" mold to build something. I don't even know that this is possible. Precast Concrete Septic Tanks are getting more and more popular nowadays.

One thing I know though is that this area of expertise will never tire out. More and more buildings are being build everyday and countries are getting more developed by the day. I wonder what will be the next innovation.
